Day 3 - Teaching Sunday School

Jambo! (Hello Everyone!):
The time here has been wonderful, but I'm just going to tell you a little bit about what we have done today.Today we attended church at Robyn's church- Good Shepherd Africa Gospel Church.THey have a Swahili service and an English service and of course we attended the English service! We started out with worship and praise and then we broke off with the kids to do Children's Church. All of the kids were together and we taught them the song "Shadrack, Meshach, and Abendego." Then they sang "He's got the whole world in His Hands" and "Who's the King of the Jungle?" and We did motions with these songs. Next, we did three songs with the puppets and they absolutely loved it! One little boy enjoyed it so much that he got up on the table and started dancing! But us kids were behind the sheets so we didn't get to see him. Thankfullly, Kelli took a picture! After the puppet show, the kids split up into 3 different age groups. In the groups we taught the lesson about Daniel and the lions den. We read it first and then some of the kids got to act it out. Then, they had a chance to say the verses that they were SUPPOSED to memorize. If they said the verse we gave them a pencil and a stuffed animal or beanie baby. After Children's church we came home and ate a wonderful lunch! We also had guests for lunch. Anthony works with Robyn and he is our driver while we are here, so he and his wife Agnes, and son, Eric joined us for lunch! We've had the rest of the afternoon to relax,so some of us took a three hour long nap! I enjoyed that!

A few of us are still having problems adjusting to the time change and sleep patterns, so pray that this gets better. Also, please keep us in prayer as we head back to the Huruma Children's Home tomorrow. We visited the home on Friday and we are heading back for the next four days to do our Children's Ministry with them! I am very excited! Well, we are getting ready for supper now,so I'm going to sign off!

God Bless,
